Teach Yourself Italian is the course for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Italian with confidence. Although aimed at those with no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing knowledge or refresh rusty language skills for a holiday or business trip.

Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 25 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to using the phone and talking about work. The course covers all structures required for GCSE level and beyond. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording.

This new edition retains the tried-and-tested structure of the lessons but has been updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro. New features include an English-Italian vocabulary to go alongside the existing Italian-English vocabulary and four tests for learners to check their progress.

The accompanying recording has been increased to two accompanying cassettes or CDs amounting to approximately 150 minutes of listening material. The CDs and cassettes are available separately or in a pack with the book.

Lydia Vellacio and Maurice Elston, the co-authors, have between them considerable experience of teaching Italian in secondary, further, adult and higher education. They are also co-authors of Buongiorno Italia and Let's talk Italian.
